So when I use the website to try and add Local Channels for my area (Providence RI) it says "Congratulations, local channels are available in your area. However, the check box is greyed out and I am unable to add the locals online. So I called dish and asked them about this and they informed me that in fact my locals are not available to me. What gives??

I am using an OTA for my locals but the problem is that only gives them to me on my main tv. I have a 622 in dual mode and the 2nd receiver is unable to pick up locals. Does anyone know of a way to split the OTA from the 622 to the secondary tv? Thanks all...

I am in the Providence market and have locals. SD only no HD.

The locals are on 121 (I think they are being removed from this bird) and on 61.5.

You have a 622 so I am guessing that you have two dishes.

To use the OTA on tv2 you will need have your 622 in signal mode. Or if your 2nd tv is HD you will need to use the tv tuner. You can use two diplexers and run the signal on the same rg6 cable going to tv2.

Thanks for the response...What I don't understand is you say to use the OTA on tv2 (SD TV) i will need to have my 622 in single mode. But when in single mode the 2nd tv will have to watch the same programming as tv1 correct? You say that you're getting locals through dish but not in HD which is fine for me...I do have 2 dishes DISH 500. I'll call them back and ask again. Thanks again for the response...I appreciate it.

Yes, the same program will be on both tvs.

I do have 2 dishes DISH 500. I'll call them back and ask again.

So you should be all set to get locals using the satellite at 61.5. When you call back tell them that you have a dish pointed at 61.5 and the SD channels you want are on 61.5.

Let us know how you make out.

Just called dish again for the 3rd time trying to add my locals (the last time I tried was proably 3-4 months ago) and finally got the response I wanted. Although I haven't tested it since I'm not home this CSR stated he was able to add my locals and they should now be showing up in my guide within 15 minutes of the call. Thanks again for the replies....Now i can send the wife upstairs to watch her primetime shows while I sitback and enjoy my sports in HD!!!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
